The MS-Windows theme does not show icons in buttons because other Windows applications normally do not either. You can change this by editing share/MS-Windows/gtk-2.0/gtkrc and set gtk-button-images to 1. You know, I am glad that someone here is posting the same question. Below is a copy of my email to the group titled 'Re: Windows7-64 and Gtk::Stock::CLOSE', however, after editing the suggested file nothing changed.

I can confirm that changing the file as was suggested does show icons in the buttons (I'm running Windows XP in vmware).============================================= On Wed, 2010-11-03 at 17:53 -0400, ArbolOne wrote: > > I have initialized my button like this: btnQuit = Gtk::manage(new > > Gtk::Button(Gtk::Stock::CLOSE)); > > However, the button is displayed without the 'close icon'. > > What can I do to make gtkmm display the icons in the buttons? > > > > TIA > > > > _______________________________________________ > > gtkmm-list mailing list > > gtkmm-list gnome org > > http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtkmm-list The MS-Windows theme does not show icons in buttons because other Windows applications normally do not either.

I thought that next snippet will do, but I only get empty buttons. iconify = manage ( new Gtk::Button()); Gtk::Image img(Gtk::Stock::REMOVE,Gtk::ICON_SIZE_BUTTON); iconify->set_image(img); iconify->set_tooltip_text("minimize window"); pack_start(*iconify,Gtk::PACK_SHRINK); What is wrong with my code Thanks Kees Kling _______________________________________________ gtkmm-list mailing list gtkmm-list gnome org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtkmm-list_______________________________________________ gtkmm-list mailing list gtkmm-list gnome org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtkmm-list |
